Biodegradable tea bags

A biodegradable product is one that decomposes into other natural components through the action of biological agents such as the sun, water, algae, fungi, bacteria, etc. This results in its molecules being simplified into simpler ones. Biodegradability refers to a material's ability to decompose naturally within a given time. Furthermore, when a material undergoes this process, its structure changes both physically and chemically, leaving its elements at their minimum (carbon or hydrogen).

The term "biodegradable" relates to the environment and ecology. It refers to the ability of certain materials to disintegrate and naturally become part of the earth.

Our teas are made with the planet in mind , each one created to be organic and with 100% biodegradable packaging.

At Tétique, we care about the environment as much as we do about the flavor and quality of our teas and infusions. That's why all our products are offered in biodegradable tea bags or recyclable cardboard tins, to minimize our environmental impact and ensure our products are sustainable. So, when you shop at Tétique, you're not only enjoying the health benefits of our products, but you're also helping to protect the planet.

Advantages and disadvantages of biodegradable materials

Biodegradation is high in some materials, while it is not in others. Some of the advantages are: when they go through the degradation process, they leave no residue, they reduce carbon emissions, and they eventually decompose completely in the environment or are recycled. On the other hand, they have some advantages and disadvantages, which we mention below: the compost they form is not properly transformed, so it cannot be used for agriculture. At Tétique, all tea bags are safe because they are made with biodegradable materials.

Some bioplastics can also be composted, although not the majority. And finally, the recycling process consumes a significant amount of energy. If we talk about our products, we can tell you, for example, that the pyramids for our infusions and teas are made from Soilon, a biodegradable corn-based material. So you won't have to worry about knowingly disposing of products that harm the environment or the ecosystem.
